One mum's hilarious, and all-too-relatable, tribute to preschool teachers

In the course of a day, preschool teachers must find themselves doing, and witnessing, countless things that aren’t included in their job description.

One mum has acknowledged this in a hilarious and all-too-relatable Facebook tribute to preschool teachers - her son’s, in particular.

Karen Johnson, who runs the blog ‘21st Century SAHM’, posted the message of thanks after a “hot mess morning” that saw her son arrive at preschool with a slimy surprise in his hand.

“I told my 4yo to get in the car but he hadn't had breakfast yet,” she writes.

"So I threw a cheese stick at him in the backseat (as all good mothers do) and told him to make sure he had it all eaten by the time we got to school.

“Only after he hopped out and skipped happily into the building did I see it—from across the school lawn, a glimpse of a his chubby little hand, holding a white, slimy cheese stick that he'd been holding for ten minutes and never ate.”

A molten cheese stick wasn’t the only curveball Johnson’s son had in store for his unsuspecting teacher.

Posting a photo of an unwashed sock in a zip-lock bag, the writer and editor tips her hat to the teacher for “lovingly” accepting it as her son’s S-themed ‘show and tell’ submission.
